Versatile and reliable, the SS-R100 is a stereo audio recorder that records to Compact Flash media, SH/SDHC cards and USB memory.
The TASCAM SS Series models come without rotating media slots to provide users more simplicity and the option to reduce maintenance costs with traditional rotating media playback/recording equipment.
The SS-R100 can be used in various recording applications and environments such as for minutes recording at courthouses, government and/or municipal offices, as well as establishing highly-reliable acoustic systems in professional sound systems for broadcasting stations and PA/SR.
It is also perfect for replacing the existing playback system at fitness studios and banquet halls. Furthermore, the 20-point flash start system can be constructed by connecting the SS-R100 with the optional RC-20 remote controller, making it useful for regular audio playback in theaters, weddings, etc.
The SS-CDR200, SS-R200 and SS-R100 models also support RC-20 connection.
By narrowing down the amount of inputs/outputs to RCA analog and COAXIAL digital I/O only, the SS-R100 is a basic solid state recorder with an affordable price.
The TASCAM SS Series are the next standard in stereo audio recording with a high level of versatility that supports various types of media.
Main Features
Compact 1U rack mount size CD player with a convenient button layout that makes it easy to use. Designed so that it can be installed in limited rackspace without sacrificing usability.
In addition to CF cards, the SS-R100 is also compatible with SD/SDHC cards and USB memory, making recording and playback possible. This provides excellent versatility at locations where different media formats are used.
The flash start function allows for sound source playback without any time lag by storing the data to the unit's memory in advance. Using the optional RC-20 remote control, it is possible to perform flash start for up to 20 different tracks. This is useful for theatrical performances and weddings, or for broadcasting systems at public facilities.

Hardware compatible with various audio equipment
The newly added sampling rate converter function for digital inputs of 32k to 48k Hz, makes it easy to connect the unit with other equipment without having to worry about the word clock master.
When using jog playback or editing files, tracks can be displayed in sub-second frame units. It is possible to perform editing and confirmation with the same precision as with conventional high-end MD recorders.
Link playback function allows linking operation of SS-R100 by connecting the digital OUT and digital IN connectors. This is convenient when using the same sound source for playback and as a backup for another unit.
* This is not a clock synchronization function, so there may be some slight delay.
Flexible software configutation allows various usages
Record and play WAV (Linear PCM) and MP3 files using CF/SD/SDHC cards and USB memory.
* It is not possible to directly record WAV files to CD-R/CD-RW discs, but file copying is possible.
Adjust the pitch control in steps of 0.1% using the dedicated PITCH knob. This function allows adjustment of the playback speed and pitch the same as with cassette tape pitch control.
Key control playback is possible using SHIFT+PITCH knob. With key control playback, it is possible to change the pitch without changing the playback speed, and to control the pitch in +/-6 semitones.
The SS-R100 has standard auto-cue and auto-ready functions installed. The Auto Cue function automatically detects when sound starts and pauses it at that point. This function is good for cuing sound sources at theaters and PA/SR sites. The detection level can be set from -72 to -24dB (in 6dB intervals).
Auto Ready function automatically stops at the beginning of the next track after the currently playing track finishes. This is convenient when determing the playback timing of desired tracks, or when playing only one track out of sound sources in order to avoid accidentally playing the wrong track.
The power-on playback function automatically starts playback when the power is turned ON. The resume function remembers the location where playback last stopped last time, and starts playback from that location when Play is pressed next time. It is possible turn these functions ON/OFF, and to use both functions together.
While panel lock function is active, operation is no longer possible from the front panel or from the remote control. However, it is possible to operate the unit using the optional remote controllers RC-20 and RC-3F.
